Alan Davies penned and stars in this autobiographical short. The curmudgeonly comedian finds himself lumbered with his father’s Alsatian after a messy run-in with the next-door neighbour’s Sheltie. John Sessions makes a cameo playing a fabulously poker-faced canine psychiatrist as Davies and dog bury their differences.
